Iphoto selects wrong fonts in settings window for books

I saw someone else had this problem in a calendar but didn't see any resolution.
Here's the issue. I'm building a book in iPhoto '08. When I go to the settings window to change a font, instead of selecting the font I want when I close the window, it selects the font immediately above the one I selected in the list. If it was consistent with this, I could probably work around it, but some fonts it won't select at all.
I've tried trashing the iphoto plist file. Didn't make any difference. Any other ideas out there?

Peter:
You might try using OnyX to clean the application caches and the font caches. While your in OnyX run the various cron maintenance routines also. Wouldn't hurt.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Upgrade to 14.0.1 Now font-family settings ignored for certain fonts e.g. Expert Sans

Accepts {font-family: Arial, sans-serif, verdana} etc.
But {font-family: Expert Sans, Arial, sans-serif, verdana} will fall back to Arial even though Expert Sans is installed on client PC. Works pre 14.0.1 and on Safari, Chrome, IE6/7/8 etc, so this is a feature of 14.0.1 release.

Since the option to uncheck "allow pages to choose their own fonts" only appears after "advanced" is clicked, I understood what you meant.
Let me put it this way. What I am expecting to happen: when I uncheck "allow pages to choose their own fonts," web pages will not choose their own fonts, but use the ones I've selected. What happens instead at tumblr: my selected fonts do not get used.
To make it apparent, I selected Comic Sans for everything, and unchecked "allow pages to choose their own fonts." The results are shown in the first image below. I used sfgate.com as an example of a site where unchecking "allow pages..." works.
The second image shows the font info from sfgate using the handy plug-in you mentioned. Comic Sans, my selected font, appears.
The third image shows what I get at tumblr with the same settings I had at sfgate. As you can see, tumblr ignores my designation to use Comic Sans.
For comparison purposes: the fourth image shows tumblr font info when "allow pages to choose their own fonts" IS checked.
I have tested this with Firefox 12, 13, and 14 on Windows XP and Vista. I have tested it with multiple fonts (the font I usually designate is Verdana, but visually it's too close to Arial, so I used Comic Sans here) Tumblr ignoring the unchecking of "allow pages to choose their own fonts" happens in every instance. In short: tumblr.com breaks the Firefox option to choose your own fonts. Unchecking "allow pages to choose their own fonts" does not work at tumblr.
Please note that by tumblr I do not mean individual blogs [myblog.tumblr.com], where the fonts can be set by the blog owner, and where unchecking "allow pages..." works. The problem is at tumblr.com, and also at tumblr.com/dashboard, the dashboard being what signed in tumblr users view, and which is 90% of their tumblr "experience."
Another note: in my test, you'll notice I chose the same font for serif and sans-serif. Don't get sidetracked by that. Every version of Firefox, since it was first introduced, will happily use a single font across the board. There is no need to choose an actual serif font for "serif." The font I normally choose for both categories is Verdana.

Firefox restores (expands) all reduced windows from the Taskbar everytime I select "Open In A New Window" for a link.

Nightwolfx03 has asked this same question as question #822903, but with different wording. To maximize the matches for searches, I'm re-stating it.
When I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Window" to display a new webpage, Firefox restores (expands) ALL the windows which have been minimized on my taskbar. Multiple windows cascade upwards onto my screen, taking several seconds and being incredibly annoying. HELP!

This issue can be caused by the ASK.com Toolbar
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Re: iPhoto. iBooks. Font is too small for me to edit. Any solutions?

Re: iPhoto,iBooks. I am making a book for someone using Old World Travel. There are several spots in the book for text, but even using the largest font available is too small to edit or check spelling. Help?

If you have topics with different backgrounds, check that they all have the same CSS file applied to them. Are there Master Pages on your topics? You could try copying in a backup CSS file but I doubt this would make any difference if it is exactly the same. Could you look inside the HTML for one of the topics and see if anything is amiss there.

Iphoto showing wrong file size and length for movie after upgrade

in iphoto, an AVI from my camera is shown as being 1:04 long and 76 MB. but playing the file shows it is 9 seconds long, and Finder shows the file as being 10 MB.
a bit more about this file: I shot the video with my still camera and imported it. on the camera, I then edited it down from 1:04 to 0:09, and reimported it. both files were in my iphoto library before upgrading to iphoto '08; iphoto saw they had different lengths and did not consider them duplicates.
now, I see only one file with the time of 1:04 (the original length) and it plays the edited version. while I would prefer to have both versions, as I did before, I would more like to know why iphoto is showing the wrong information for a file the was fine in the previous version of iphoto.

What method does iPhoto 6 use to convert Raw photos for Books?

I shoot Raw. I like to have the odd soft cover iBook for Holiday memories.
Obviously iPhoto does not upload the RAW files to the printers, so what is its conversion process? Would I get better results if I converted them first before creating a Book File? I have followed the list of disappointments people have with these smaller books. Old Toad was most helpful with the Pref Setting 300 tip, but I wonder if in the process of conversion from Raw iPhoto uses a lower quality route?
Any one out there who knows the best practice for Raw Shooters. By the way I am based in London and so the alternative printing websites do seem to take a bit too long with postage.

Adobe Camera Raw is the way to go – it will do all you want and more.
You can pick up the basics very quickly but it pays in the long run to discover its incredible versatility by visiting the Camera Raw forum.
And read the book too!

Iphoto crashes almost immediately after payment taken for book order

Hi
I'm trying to upload my first iphoto book. I make the payment and almost immediately iphoto crashes - it then prompts me to repair which I do and then I try again and the same happens?
I've tried safe mode as suggested elsewhere to no avail? Support is now shut is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
R

Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Proof the book for any errors, typos and others, before starting the ordering process.
If the PDF file is OK then order the book while still in Safe Mode. Keep the PDF file to compare to the printed copy when you receive it.

Set-up custom font, font size, and color for writing new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird

I know that I can select the font, size, and color for writing each new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird, but I don't want to have to do this each time. I want to set-up the default font, size, and color for all new and reply e-mails. It already comes up with a default one, but I want to change it, but can't figure out how to do this. I'm sure it is quite simple, but I don't know how to do this. Thank you in advance for help.

Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab
Default font: select font
Select size : eg; 14
Click on 'Advanced' button and set all the sizes to 14
Select : 'allow messages to use other fonts'
click on OK
Click on 'Composition'
Under the 'General' tab
Suggest you set HTML font to 'Variable width' and Size : 'Medium'
Select the 'Text colour' you would like to compose email using
Select the 'Background colour' you would like to use when composing emails.
click on OK to save all changes.
This will set the display email list to the selected font.
It will allow received emails to use the font the sender used.
When you compose an email it will also use the same font settings.
The message 'Display' settings in the above section also apply to messages that you compose. The settings are not sent, so they do not affect how your messages appear to recipients.
The settings in the ''Composition' section can affect how messages are sent. If you make unusual choices, then people who receive messages from you might find them difficult or impossible to read. Hence, why I suggest you leave it as 'Variable width' and allow the 'Display' settings to set the default used for composing emails.

I lost my contact list while sychnorizing with windows address book

I have a 3g iphone. 2 days ago i wanted to sychnorize my contact list in my iphone to my desktop computer. So i opened itunes in my desktop and plugged in my iphone. Then i selected iphone from the left menu and in the info segment there is the contact sychnorizing, i opened it and selected all my contacts and windows address book. And then made the sychnorizing. After that i opened windows address book but it was empty, my contacts from the iphone has not come. After a while i realized that also my contact list on my iphone has gone. I have no backup of my contact list. I don't use iclouds. It backups on my desktop and i missed the chance to restore from backup after this mistake because i did sychnorizing after the mistake and it took backup on that one too. As itunes just holds the lastest backup. It would not include my contact list. So i restored the iphone to factory settings. But it didn't work either. Can u help me? All my contact list has gone.
Another question is i have the ios 4.2.1 running on my iphone and it made the phone very very slow for the past 1 year and i decided to restore it to the factory settings that maybe the operating system will return to the first one. This is the reason for my try to sychnorize my contacts to itunes on my computer before restoring it to factory settings.
Thank you,

Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all? If so, then they are gone.
IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

Font smoothing settings doesn't consistently work for every login on Windows 2008 R2 when using a RDP client

I'm trying to use the MSTSC client on a Windows 8.1 machine to connect to a Windows 2008 R2 server. In the MSTSC experience tab I checked the font smoothing option. Font smoothing works some times and doesn't work the other times. I don't see a pattern here.
any kind of help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have Server 2008 R2, there is GPO setting available to specify whether font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Do not allow font smoothing
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
You can configure font smoothing on the Experience tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or by using the {allow font smoothing:i:1} setting in a Remote Desktop Protocol (.rdp) file.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item. How can I change to book settings?

The "options" button should appear at the bottom of the iPhoto window, when you view your book, then the Book Settings Button should be available and you can activate page numbers.
But remember, that the settings available will depend on the Book Theme you selected. The above shows the settings for one of the "Travel" themes. In a Picture Book Theme, e.g. you cannot add page numbers.
What theme and book size are you using?

Windows 8.1 settings window and other apps automatically minimize/cannot be selected.

Whenever I try and change my settings by going through the usual charms menu-> Change PC Settings, the instant the settings window comes up it disappears. I try bringing it up from the taskbar and the same thing happens: it seems to maximize then just disappears. I can't switch to it, only close it. This applies to any app in Windows including Sports, News, etc.
Thanks in advance!
I'm running on Windows 8.1 and have a HP ENVY dv6-7214nr.

Hi Marhorie4,
This is the command you should try to enter
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register
$EnvystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xm
The restore point was safety precaution, so it something when wrong you would have a good restore point to return to. As you have one that was before the issue started, I would keep and use that one.
Here is a link to a Window.microsoft.com answer to assist you. Cannot use Windows 8 apps or get to PC Settings!
If the issue remains, I would do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8). This will reinstall the original OS.
Now try doing your update again.
Updating Windows 8 to 8.1
If this has not helped I would do a full factory recovery. Here is a link to System Recovery / Backup / Restore. There are links on the page to guide you through doing a recovery and restoring your files if you opted to do the backup.
You may also consider contacting HP support for further assistance. They can remotely access your system to help find and fix issues.

Font compatibility with Office (for Mac and Windows)

Hi,
Despite extensive searching, I'm struggling with a font compatibility issue between my Mac and my colleagues' PCs. The main points in order:
The fonts work correctly on both my Mac and other PCs.
The font in question is HelveticaNeueLT Std, rolled up into which are several different weights. The files are OTF files. The same files install without any problems on all the computers in question (and show up in Font Book). And the font can be used successfully:
- in Keynote, I select Helvetica Neue LT Std, and underneath choose whichever weight I want
- on PCs, the font and weight can be selected from the drop-down list in MS Office.
- in Office for Mac 2016 (Preview), I cannot select the font from the drop-down list, but can hit Cmd+T, and then select the appropriate font and weight under 'Latin text font'. What is odd is that in the dropdown list, only a particular weight/typeface is shown:
As this is a preview version, I wouldn't expect Office to work perfectly just yet...
When a file is created on a PC, it works fine on my Mac.
Every file I have attempted to open that was created on a PC, and using these fonts, works fine. The fonts display correctly (i.e. including the correct weights), and I can work with the document without any problems. The only odd bit: sometimes in the dropdown box on my Mac it then says (null):
Whereas at other times, the font name shows correctly:
Both of those examples were created using the 'Thin' weight of HelveticaNeueLt Std. I can't see any pattern as to what causes this inconstency.
The problem is that what I create on my Mac shows incorrectly on a PC.
If I create anything using Office 2016 or Keynote, selecting the preferred weight as described above, it shows just fine on my Mac. But when I send the PPTX file to a PC, all weights look identical (it looks as though the PC has just displayed everything in a standard weight). This is the problem I am trying to solve.
To try to get around this, I tried the process of removing the Helvetica/Helvetica Neue .dfont files that come with the Mac - but this didn't work and caused several other problems. Besides, the font I'm trying to get to use as intended has a different name.
All help would be greatly appreciated - my thanks in advance.
John

Thanks Kappy and apologies if it is inappropriate - but just to clarify, my main question is whether fonts used in Keynote should be compatible with other software (in this case Office running on Windows). The Office for Mac Preview is a bit of a red herring but I thought it should be mentioned.
I tried to clarify my first post, but it didn't work. What I wanted to add was simply whether Keynote handles fonts in a way that other pieces of software struggle to read - despite the font itself working perfectly in both environments.

Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
